Mandi Lauritzson has recently been diagnosed with BRCA2 invasive ductile carcinoma (breast cancer). Wife of Josh Lauritzson, mother of 4 children (youngest is 5 years old), Mandi is a stay-at-home mom who homeschools their children. She is soon starting chemotherapy, followed by radiation. It has also been recommended that she consider prophylactic double mastectomy, and/or hysterectomy and removal of ovaries (oophorectomy).

They do have medical insurance, but Josh will be taking as much unpaid FMLA time as possible, which means there will be no income for the family. Any financial assistance will be greatly appreciated.
